# Sceptile #10/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Sceptile is one of the Hoenn starters' strongest fan draws, and Mitsuhiro Arita is among the most respected hands in the game's art history, so his name carries weight on a regular Rare. In its set this was a mid-tier pull, valued more for the Sceptile and Arita pairing than for play. The modelled guide sits at $3.05 with 26 copies traded in 30 days, and the tape reads as a floor forming near the lows; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
